Description
A fascinating previously unpublished diary written by Gunner Sydney Hall while serving in three Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) batteries in the Great War spanning his situation in 1916, joining up, training, service in France and Flanders and demobilisation. This diary was first typed in the 1920’s from his war time diaries and while fresh in his mind, Hall provides vivid descriptions of daily life, relationships among the men, technical aspects of the battery, going into action and the passage to victory in 1918. The author has verified names of people and places as well as dates and set each chapter in the historical context of the war on the Western Front.
